You can follow my footsteps here via my satellite tracking device. When I’m moving it updates every 10 minutes which equates to 1/2 to 2 mile intervals depending on my speed.

I’m beginning to feel like a thruhiker; I’ve pooped in the woods, digging a 8” cat hole then packing out my toilet paper and wet wipes; I’ve passed through three towns – Julian, Idyllwild and Banning; I’ve put on dirty clothes repeatedly; filtered water from questionable sources; carried food for days; got lost and needed to backtrack; not looked in a mirror for 3 weeks; unknowingly lost something on trail and been reunited with it by a hiker carrying it along the trail to me; eaten 5000 calories a day and still been hungry; received trail magic – help freely given by a stranger in the form of food, shelter, a ride to town.
